‘Tis the season of spook & death. 🦴🔮 As we reflect on the traditions of the season—honoring and celebrating the cycles of life—here’s my gourd banjo rendition of “O Death,” a song deeply rooted in American folk music. Originally popularized by Ralph Stanley, this haunting tune has its origins in early 20th-century folk traditions.
This rendition was inspired by that of @hustonwestbanjo on YouTube!🪕🧚
